Great job to our future plumbers who are building skills that will keep our communities running!
Our students recently completed a project installing 160 feet of 4-inch sewer pipe, carefully digging the trench and using levels to ensure the proper pitch for correct drainage—a critical skill in the plumbing trade.
This real-world project will provide sewer service to campers and a new building at the U.S. Military Veterans MC compound in Crestview.
Experiences like this project allow our students to gain valuable hands-on training while giving back to the community. We are proud of their hard work and dedication to mastering the trade!
